The physiotherapist was killed when a sudden fire broke out in his Arizona Wellness Center. The emergency crews rushed to the Walter FoxCroft clinic in Havas’s Lake City late on Wednesday evening after the call reported the burn victim inside the pressure oxygen, according to the NBC report.
Firefighters found heavy smoke inside the sealed chamber and 43 -year -old Foxcroft Dead.
The authorities confirm that Flash Fire is subject to investigation, but has published any details of what the fire has caused. FoxCroft opened Havasu Health and Hyperbarics last year and offered a top treatment for healing and recovery.
Safety concerns grow over the risks of oxygen therapy
Hyperbaric chambers pump pure oxygen at high pressure to treat injuries, infections or carbon monoxide poisoning. But the same oxygen that is healing can, if ignited, can be deadly. “You need heat for fire, oxygen and fuel and hyperbaric chambers have a lot of oxygen,” explained Kaleb Christopherson, Security Director at another Arizona clinic.
Patients must avoid skin, perfumes or electronics that could cause flames. Experts invite people to use only equipment accredited by groups such as underwater and hyperbaric medical society, which promotes strict fire codes. FoxCroft himself received security training, but the tragedy still appeared late on Wednesday evening.
The community mourns over the beloved healer and mascot
Friends and patients remember the “Wally” Foxcroft as a passionate carer who has strengthened the spirits for and outside the work. Before becoming a physiotherapist, he enthusiastic about the crowds as the mascot of the University of Arizona, “Wilbur T. Wildcat”, known for his Moonwalk.
Later he acted as “Big Red” Arizona Cardinals at Super Bowl 2006. Colleagues claims that FoxCroft was a thorough, kind and devoted innovative healing.
After the accident, his clinic was temporarily closed and left the city closely with the Havas Lake, which mourns on a man who “brought joy to all”, according to his university fan team.
